Tomorrow will be my last column in the Daily. I’m kind of sad about it. Coming up with a good idea every week was less than easy, and some of the columns I wrote were definitely better than others as a result. But I will miss the commitment to write something every week. I will miss being proud of seeing my name in print. If nothing else, serving as a columnist was wonderful motivation to put a few thoughts in a coherent piece of writing.
Nick suggested that I keep writing a column every week, but since I can’t put it in the Daily anymore, to just post it on my webpage. That would work, and I may indeed try that out…but I would probably never enjoy the “legitimacy” and certainly not the readership of publishing in the paper. Then again, sometimes I dream of creating a website that will log thousands of hits each day, from all over the world. I’d like to think that I could have something to offer, something to share with strangers. For a while now I have wanted to create a really good website, with my own domain name and everything. I just feel like I need better content than my schedule and pictures of my friends. I’m still thinking about it. Anyway.
I am in a strange mood tonight. I am about to go running, in hopes of escaping it.
I’m also afraid I might be getting sick again, even before my last cold and its still lingering cough have disappeared. I was feeling ok earlier, but during my three hour class this afternoon as I sat there, I got warmer and warmer, and my neck started to ache, and then my back. Class ended but I was still aching, and it didn’t stop until dinnertime, when I was able to get ahold of a couple Advil. I’m feeling ok now, but I think after my run it’ll probably be a good idea to hit the sack sometime no later than midnight. I’ve been sick this entire quarter, and it sucks.
